If the nature of the universe is twisted to defile me. Nothing fills me with more spite than unrequited vengeance. desecreation of truth. How could you. I would do anything to be struck down where I stand. Power is penance. I cannot take responsibility for any of my actions, for I am infinitely vulnerable on all fronts. Therefore, it's all my fault. What am I? Please, tell me before the dawn, let the sun not grace me once more. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/6351 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── "it's as if they didn't read you at all" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/6352 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┐ ║ ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: feelings-mentioned~ │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ dear diary: sorry for the melodrama, I feel better now.

They ask why, more than how. They are interested in creating new branches on the tree of progress, of forging new possibilities and developing new fronts in the war against the unexplored. Foundations are just as important to a house as it's roof. However, no house is complete without walls, so each degree program would have both. They could share some classes. The cutting edge still needs a bit of a foundation, and there surely are opportunities to practice the fundamentals that both would appreciate. I believe this may increase our overall int score and give students options. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/6354 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── If your leaders don't represent you, pick different leaders, and get them to work together.
